English Standard Version

1“The whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers. (De 4:1; De 5:32; De 6:1)

3And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word1 that comes from the mouth of the Lord. (Ex 16:2; Ex 16:12; Ex 16:14; Ex 16:35; Nu 11:6; Nu 21:5; Mt 4:4; Lu 4:4; Joh 6:49)

4Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years. (De 29:5; Ne 9:21)

16who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end. (Ex 16:15; De 8:3; Jer 24:5; Heb 12:11)

17Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’ (De 9:4)

18You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day. (De 7:8; De 7:12; Pr 10:22; Ho 2:8)

19And if you forget the Lord your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I solemnly warn you today that you shall surely perish. (De 4:26; De 30:18)

20Like the nations that the Lord makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God. (Da 9:11)
